Who was Jenny Pipes?

Jenny Pipes was the last woman in England to be ducked as a legal punishment. (So far!)

Also known as Jane Corran by virtue (if that’s the right word) of her marriage to John Corran, she was a member of the poor community of Leominster in the early 19th Century. She was just able to eke out a living independent of the workhouse but that was no thanks to him.
